get a cheaper ugly case then modify it,. that case looks great and your wiring looks great. only sujestions is maybe swap the fans for high performance or diffrent led fans. also get a better cpu cooler. Zalman isn't doin that good as of recent and the coolit setup might be nice. i have one but i think a tower style cooler would work better.

I don't know what your smoking, but Zalman makes some of the best air coolers you can get. Coolit makes water cooling kits which is is much different than air, and much more expensive.

If this is your first mod, start with something cheap or something that has no real value to you so that you can get a feel to modding and the tools and what not, then work form there. Also, about the display, you might want to change the fans to blue some how by replacing the LED's or replacing the whole fans so that the colors don't screw with each other, unless you like it like that; it's only a suggestion.

Umm...Max PC gave the newest one (CPS9900 or whatever) an 8 or a 9. It was better than most of them. Not sure how xbitlabs got their results. It was a few issues ago, but the Zalman got a good review. And if m1keth3pwn3r is getting good temps, then he should leave it.

But I'm agreeing with others here. Find a crap case and do some things to it and get experience. The HAF doesn't need to be touched unless you have a really impressive idea and experience to do it.

The answer to your question is that MaxPC tests coolers with a stock CPU speed while other reviewers test it on stock speed AND overclocked. This way, it show consumers what they can expect if they want to overclock (actually people do buy these types of coolers to OC, otherwise they would use a box fan/heatsink).
Max PC should consider testing CPU Coolers on stock and OC processors.

I know, I thought about keeping it more to the industrial look of the outside, but I decided I wanted some crazy POP with the inside. Going to have cold cathodes in there. I used automotive black metallic with clearcoat.

And it's just poof can, I never claimed to be an expert paint guy! lol It looks damn sweet in person, if I do say so myself

did I just see a 9800 on an 1100W PSU? that's kinda epic overkill lol.

That is called future proofing I am planning to add more components (hdd, DVD-RW, LCD, Water Cooling) and all of them need power. Also for overclock I'll need at least 100W for CPU and even more for the GPU. Plus, I am waiting for GT 300.

even for crazy overclocking, you won't need more than 150 extra W- right now you're probably using about 300W, and adding ten hard drives and ten optical drives and putting a new GT300 GPU and water cooling in might push it to 800W. but this isn't the place to argue that, so whatever.
